Ingredients List
To recreate this astonishing soup, you will need:
* 500 grams of assorted mushrooms
* 1 tablespoon of olive oil
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger
* 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
* Salt to taste
* Black pepper to taste
* 2 cups of vegetable broth
* 1 cup of coconut milk
Instructions
1. Begin by dusting off the mushrooms gently with a soft cloth or a brush. Next, slice them uniformly, preserving the rustic beauty of the mushroom.
2. Warm the olive oil in a deep pot over medium heat. As the oil lightly dances on the surface, add in the onion, a symphony of sizzle greeting your ears.
3. Once the onions have softened and turned translucent, introduce the garlic and ginger to the party. Allow these flavors to mingle for about a minute.
4. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and let them sauté until they release their juices and begin to caramelize.
5. Sprinkle in the turmeric, its golden hue immediately painting the mushrooms. Season it with salt and pepper, a merry medley of spices coating each mushroom slice.
6. Pour in the vegetable broth, let the soup simmer beneath a closed lid until the mushrooms are cooked through and the broth has absorbed their flavors.
7. As the final touch to this grand concoction, stir in the coconut milk crafting a creamy consistency. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, until the soup thickens slightly.
